These include, but are not limited to, our Email Service Provider (ESP) Get Response, push notification provider One Signal, our data validation provider Kickbox, SMS supplier Text Local and our data warehouse supplier, Google’s Big Query.

From time-to-time, we may run contests, special offers, or other events or activities with a third-party sponsor. If you provide information to the third-party, you give them permission to use it for the purpose of that promotion. We cannot control the use of your Personal Data after you have submitted it to the third-party. If you do not want your information to be processed by the third-party, you can choose not to participate in the promotion.

Parties we do not transfer your data to

Our Website contains links to third-party websites. You will click on these to complete offers and take part in promotions. Please note, if you follow a link to any such website, we do not accept any liability or responsibility, because these websites have their own Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies.

We do not transfer your data to these third-parties but to improve your user experience, when you click on a third-party offer and are transferred to the third-party website, we may have access to anonymised Transaction data related to your activity on the third-party website. 

Where in the world your data is transferred

The Company and The Group are headquartered in the UK. The information that you provide or that we collect as a result of your interaction with the Website and/or the user of the Services will be transferred to parties located within the EU that have been recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. When transfers take place to countries outside of this consideration, we have put in place measures, including ensuring the recipient is bound by EU Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your Personal Data.

Where any Personal Data is transferred to the USA, we also rely on the EU-US Privacy Shield Frameworks (“Privacy Shield”) to ensure recipients adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles.

SECTION 6: HOW LONG YOUR DATA IS KEPT

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. 

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. 

In some circumstances, we may anonymise your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you. Once you no longer have a relationship with us, we will retain and securely destroy your Personal Data subject to the foregoing and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you on our suppression list in order to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.

SECTION 7: YOUR DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

YOUR RIGHTSWHAT YOU CAN REQUEST

To access your data, submit a Subject Access Request (“SAR”) to our Data Protection Officer. If requested by email, data will be provided in an electronic format unless instructed otherwise. Requests are confidential. Include full name, email, website signed up to, and specific information needed.
If we refuse your request, we will inform you within one month, explaining the reason, and advise you of your right to complain to the supervisory authority.
Right to RectificationThe right to require us to correct incomplete or inaccurate Personal Data. We may verify the new data’s accuracy. You can also correct your information directly via your user account. We encourage you to update inaccurate data to keep our records up to date.
Right to ErasureThe right to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no valid reason to continue processing it. In some cases, we may not be able to comply and will provide reasons if so.
Right to Restrict ProcessingThe right to request the suspension of processing your Personal Data in the following scenarios: (a) you need us to verify data’s accuracy; (b) our data use is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it; (c) you need us to hold data for legal claims even if we no longer need it; or (d) you object to our use of your data, but we are verifying whether we have overriding legitimate grounds for processing it.
Right to Request Data PortabilityIn certain circumstances, the right to request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or a third party in a commonly used machine-readable format. This applies only to automated information initially provided with consent or used to perform a contract.
Right to Object to ProcessingThe right to object to the processing of your Personal Data: (i) at any time for direct marketing purposes (including profiling); or (ii) in other cases where we process Personal Data based on legitimate interests. We may demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your rights and freedoms in some situations.
Right to Withdraw Consent at Any TimeThe right to withdraw your consent at any time if we are relying on it to process your Personal Data. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it was withdrawn. Some services or products may not be available after consent is withdrawn, and we will inform you if that is the case.
Right not to be subject to automated decision-makingThe right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that have legal effects or significantly affect you. This right does not apply if: (i) you provided explicit consent; (ii) the law allows it; or (iii) the decision was necessary to enter into a contract.

How to make a request

If you would like to exercise any of the data subject access rights in the table above (each, an “Access Request”) please send an email to dpo@digital-adventures.com. We will respond to your request without undue delay and no later than one month.

You will be required to pay an administrative fee of £10 but you will not usually be required to pay more than that to exercise your rights unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

We may need to confirm your identity before fulfilling your request and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or exercise other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

If you are not satisfied with our response or believe we are processing your personal data not in accordance with the law you can make a complaint to the relevant Supervisory Authority. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). You can contact the ICO through their website: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/ or by telephone: 0303 123 1113.

If you have registered on a Digital Adventures Website, you can unsubscribe from marketing emails by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of our emails, or by visiting the preference centre at www.qihmarketing.com. Please allow up to 48 hours for changes to take effect. When you unsubscribe we will store your name and email address on a separate database to ensure we do not contact you again.

SECTION 9: SECURITY AND STORAGE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data we process about you. However, no transmission of information via the Internet or wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Data, you acknowledge that there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control and accordingly, the security, integrity and privacy of data exchanged between you and us through the Website cannot be guaranteed.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. If you believe that your access credentials or Personal Data have been compromised, please contact us immediately.
